Pros: Phone can only call & recieve calls from numbers that PARENTS progam in (all PIN protected). Smaller than normal phones so easier for little hands.
Cons: none
Summary: We bought this phone for our daughter on her 8th birthday, as she was always using mine to cal her friends. And it has been wonderful! we made her sign a "contract" to use only a certain amount of anytime minutes. She has only used to this date about 30 anytime a month. She calls when she is out with my mom even to let me know where she is going, lol.
I would never get her a normal cell at this age, but the fact that it can only send & recieve calls from numbers that I put in is GREAT! I chose the PIN number and only I can change it. I recommend this phone to any parent that wants to get their pre-teen one.
Pros: After programming important contact numbers into the phone for our nine year old son, I sent him on his way and couldn't be happier. He seems to feel like we trust him and have given him more freedom just by being able to carry his own cellular phone. As you can tell from the photo there is not much to the phone, but it was set up to be that way!
Summary: Knowing that my son is able to contact us at any time is wonderful. The firefly is so convenient for younger children and should make every parent feel safe knowing their child has one.
